Milestone:  To Be Determined     |   Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0         |    Severity:  Problem

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 There are many useful functions in the
 interprocess/detail/os_file_functions.hpp like '''create_new_file''',
 '''delete_file''', '''write_file''', '''close_file'''. But there is no
 such function as "'''read_file'''". I don't know is it by design or not,
 but at least I see that it is possible to "'''open_existing_file'''" with
 "'''read_only'''" mode and in this case it is not possible to do anything
 with file, since '''read_file''' function not exists in the interface. Is
 it possible to add "'''read_file'''" function?
